[0001] The present invention relates to a cabinet that allows easy visual confirmation of the storage status of stored items, and relates to a cabinet that can be carried and combined. [Background technology]

[0002] Patent Document 1 proposes a disaster prevention locker that can be used for both normal and emergency situations. This locker is installed near or integral with a delivery box installed in a building.

[0003] In other words, by using the control panel installed in the delivery box, disaster prevention supplies can be purchased individually during normal times, and in the event of a disaster, the control panel installed in the delivery box can be used, or disaster prevention supplies can be sold during a disaster.

[0004] Furthermore, as cabinets that can be freely combined vertically and horizontally, the connecting structure and connecting cabinets disclosed in Patent Document 2 have been proposed.

[0005] Patent Document 2 describes a connecting structure for upper and lower cabinets. This connecting structure is configured to increase the connecting strength between the upper and lower cabinets by fixing the bent edge of the lower end of the rear panel of the upper cabinet to the bent edge of the L-shaped cross section in side view on the top surface of the top panel of the lower cabinet.

[0006] The linked cabinet described in Patent Document 3 is configured to connect side-by-side cabinets, with vertical bars installed in place of one side panel of the cabinet, and by connecting another cabinet to this vertical bar, the amount of material required to manufacture the cabinet is reduced.

[0008] Although the disaster prevention locker described in Patent Document 1 can be used both in normal times and in the event of a disaster, the disaster prevention locker must always be installed near or integrated with a delivery box installed in a building, which means that the disaster prevention locker cannot be transported in an emergency.

[0009] The cabinets described in Patent Documents 2 and 3 can be connected vertically or horizontally, but are always installed in a fixed location, just like Patent Document 1. These cabinets do not take into consideration the ability to move items within the cabinet when necessary.

[0010] To provide a cabinet that is easy to carry and combine, which allows for easy visual confirmation of the usage status of stored items not only for normal storage but also when carried to a destination, by making it easy to carry and combine a cabinet that allows for easy visual confirmation of the usage status of stored items. [Means for solving the problem]

[0011] The first means of the present invention is a cabinet P having a ceiling panel 10, a bottom surface 20, and side panels 30, and having a front opening that can be opened and closed by a door 40 that allows the interior to be viewed, in which individual compartments 60 that store a certain number of specific items are aligned and arranged side by side, and rows of the individual compartments 60 are arranged in multiple stages vertically to form a horizontally long storage compartment 70, and is equipped with horizontal connecting fittings 11 that connect the ceiling panels 10 of horizontally adjacent cabinets P to each other, vertical connecting fittings 21 that connect the bottom surface 20 to the ceiling panels 10 of the cabinets P that are stacked vertically, and positioning guides 12 that protrude from the upper surface of the ceiling panel 10 and determine the position of the bottom of the stacked cabinets P.

[0012] The positioning guide 12 of the second means is arranged to match the position of the bottom of the cabinets P having the same width and the position of the bottom of the cabinets P having different widths.

[0013] The third means is to form a storage recess 31 in the side plate 30 and provide a handle 32 to be stored in the storage recess 31, and the handle 32 comprises a gripping body 32A to be stored in the storage recess 31 and a fixing plate 32B that supports the gripping body 32A so that it can swing freely and fixes it to the side plate 30 around the opening of the storage recess 31.

[0014] In the fourth means, the door 40 is an upward-opening door with a transparent window, and the lower end of a stay supporting the door 40 is supported in a receiving port 41 opening on the front side of the side panel 30, and the lower end of the door 40 is configured to be locked.

[0015] The individual storage 60 of the fifth means is formed to a size that can store a gun magazine, and is configured so that the magazine stored in the storage 70 can be moved together with the cabinet P. [Effects of the Invention]

[0016] As in the present invention, a horizontally long storage cabinet 70 is formed inside the cabinet P in which a plurality of individual cabinets 60, each storing a certain number of items, are aligned side by side, making it easy to compare the stored items in adjacent individual cabinets 60 and to understand the storage situation in the individual cabinets 60.

[0017] Moreover, since the storage cabinet 70 is provided with horizontal connecting fittings 11 and vertical connecting fittings 21 and can be combined vertically and horizontally depending on the situation, the storage capacity of the storage cabinet 70 can be freely changed.

[0018] Furthermore, the positioning guide 12 allows cabinets P of different widths as well as cabinets P of the same width to be stacked reliably.

[0019] The handles 32 make the cabinet portable, making it easy to not only store it normally but also to visually check the usage status of the stored items when it is carried to a new location. Furthermore, since the handles 32 are stored in the storage recesses 31 formed in the side panels 30, the fixing plates 32B protect the gripping members 32A when the cabinets P are connected side by side.

[0020] The door 40 is an upward opening door, so even if the cabinet P is transported outdoors, it is possible to prevent rain and the like from entering as much as possible when items are being taken in and out.

[0021] The individual storage 60 is formed to a size that can store a certain number of gun magazines, and is configured so that all the magazines stored in the storage 70 can be transported together with the cabinet P, so that the cabinet P can be used as an effective means for managing gun magazines managed by the Self-Defense Forces, for example.

[0022] That is, an individual can manage the number of magazines in an individual store 60, and an organization can manage the management of all magazines in the storage store 70. Furthermore, by arranging the individual stores 60 side by side, each individual can simultaneously handle the magazines in the individual store 60. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0024] The cabinet of the present invention is a cabinet P whose interior can be seen, and includes a ceiling panel 10, a bottom surface portion 20, side panels 30, a door 40, and a back panel 50 (see FIG. 1).

[0025] This cabinet P has individual storage compartments 60, each capable of storing a certain number of items, aligned horizontally (see FIG. 2). The rows of individual storage compartments 60 are arranged vertically in multiple stages to form a horizontally long storage compartment 70. In the drawing, a horizontally long, low-height cabinet P is shown.

[0026] The individual storage compartments 60 are arranged side by side to suit the human line of sight. That is, the human line of sight moves more easily sideways than up and down, and the field of vision is wider left and right than up and down, so it is easier to compare left and right than up and down. Therefore, if specific items are further stored side by side inside the individual storage compartments 60 arranged side by side, it becomes even easier to visually determine the usage status of the stored items Q (see Figure 2).

[0027] A plurality of positioning guides 12 are provided on the ceiling panel 10 of the cabinet P (see FIG. 1). These positioning guides 12 are convex members that determine the position of the bottom of the stacked cabinets P, and are provided in parallel protruding positions on the upper surface of the ceiling panel 10. The legs 22 of the cabinet P are engaged with these positioning guides 12 (see FIG. 2). These positioning guides 12 are arranged to fit the inside of the legs 22 of cabinets P of different widths as well as cabinets P of the same width. As a result, stable stacking is possible even when a narrow cabinet P is stacked on top of a long cabinet P.

[0028] In addition, a handle 32 is provided on the side plate 30 of the cabinet P, making it possible to carry the cabinet P (see FIG. 3). This handle 32 is stored in a storage recess 31 formed in the side plate 30, and includes a gripping body 32A and a fixing plate 32B. When connecting cabinets P side by side, the fixing plates 32B of adjacent cabinets P are configured to abut against each other to connect them (see FIG. 6).

[0029] In addition, horizontal connecting fittings 11 and vertical connecting fittings 21 are provided for use when combining multiple cabinets P. The horizontal connecting fittings 11 are fittings used when connecting cabinets side by side (see Figures 5 and 6), and the vertical connecting fittings 21 are used when stacking cabinets vertically (see Figures 7 and 8).

[0030] The illustrated horizontal connecting fitting 11 is a member that connects the ceiling panels 10 of horizontally adjacent cabinets P to each other (see FIG. 5). This horizontal connecting fitting 11 is composed of a plate-shaped connecting fitting 11A, a connecting bolt 11B, and a fixing nut 11C (see FIG. 6).

[0031] Then, connecting fittings 11A are placed on top of the ceiling panels 10 of adjacent cabinets P arranged side by side (see Figure 5), and connecting bolts 11B are passed through the screw holes in connecting fittings 11A into screw holes 13 in the ceiling panel 10 and screwed into fixing nuts 11C welded to the underside of the ceiling panel 10 (see Figure 6). These fixing nuts 11C are welded to the undersides of four screw holes 13 located on both longitudinal ends of the multiple screw holes 13 drilled in the ceiling panel 10 (see Figure 1).

[0032] On the other hand, the vertical connecting fitting 21 is composed of a connecting bolt 21A and a fixing nut 21B (see FIG. 8). That is, a plurality of screw holes 13 are drilled in the ceiling panel 10 of the cabinet P (see FIG. 2). These screw holes 13 are formed at positions that coincide with screw holes 24 drilled in the bottom when the cabinets P are stacked (see FIG. 9).

[0033] In the illustrated example, legs 22 and a bottom plate 23 are formed at the bottom of the cabinet P (see FIG. 9). The legs 22 are arranged at both longitudinal ends of the cabinet P, and positioning guides 12 are engaged with the inside of the legs 22. The bottom plate 23 is strip-shaped and arranged on both longitudinal end sides of the legs 22. Fixing nuts 21B are welded to align with four screw holes 24 drilled in the bottom plate 23 (see FIGS. 8 and 9).

[0034] When stacking cabinets P vertically, connecting bolts 21A are inserted from screw holes 13 in the ceiling panel 10 of the lower cabinet P to screw holes 24 in the bottom panel 23 of the upper cabinet P (see FIG. 7). Then, connecting bolts 21A are screwed into fixing nuts 21B (see FIG. 8). At this time, multiple positioning guides 12 protruding from the upper surface of the ceiling panel 10 are configured to engage with legs 22 of the upper cabinet P of the stack, making it easy to align the upper and lower cabinets P.

[0035] Furthermore, a plurality of positioning guides 12 and screw holes 13 are formed for each size of cabinet P, so that cabinets P of different sizes can be easily connected (see FIG. 1).

[0036] Door 40 is configured to allow visual inspection of the interior (see FIG. 1). In the illustrated example, it is an upward-opening door with a transparent window (see FIG. 3). The lower end of stays 42 that support door 40 is supported in sockets 41 that open on the front side of side panel 30 (see FIG. 4). A lock 43 is provided at the lower end of door 40, allowing door 40 to be locked (see FIG. 1).

[0037] Furthermore, by forming the individual storage 60 to a size that can store gun magazines, the cabinet P can be used as a magazine storage cabinet. In other words, the magazines stored in the storage 70 can be carried to the site, making it possible to manage the magazines on-site.

[0038] At this time, the side-by-side individual storages 60 allow each person to simultaneously access the magazines in the individual storages 60. In addition, since the door 40 is an upward-opening door, it also has the effect of blocking raindrops and the like when used outdoors.

[0039] It should be noted that each configuration in the illustrated example is merely one embodiment of the present invention, and the configurations of the ceiling panel 10, bottom surface 20, side panels 30, door 40, back panel 50, individual cabinets 60, storage cabinets 70, etc. can be changed as desired within the scope that does not change the gist of the present invention.
